There is in this Country and in Our own State an underestimated swelling of people demanding a government that is representative of the people. For the powers that be to overlook this fact is to their own detriment. Though it is to your advantage. The idea has not yet fixed itself in the mind of the politician that not only can we decipher facts, we can make choices based on facts. Their lies are as transparent as their thin Onion skin and their facts are just as odorous. An example: King Paul Lepage says, "the public employee stands to gain 2% in their pay next year by ending the furlough days," (which had been proposed to save the State money). Never stating that He is taking 2% from all the State workers as part of his Pension Theft Plan. This 2% he will take from people's paychecks will never even go into the pension fund, it will go into the General fund. Yet we are to believe it is reform. Do any of you know that The State of Maine does not pay into Social Security, like our employers do, like we do? We pay about 6.2% of our pay to S.S. and our Employer matches that with another 6.2%. In the State of Maine a retirement system is used instead of S.S. The State only pays 5.5%(which it has not been paying) and the employee pays 7.2% of their check in. The State has a better deal then all of the Private sector companies. Yet they are pretending like the people are the burden. So now King PAUL says: 'We will make them Pay 9.2% of the pay into the pension, but we will reform the pension by upping the retirement age and canceling cost of living increases. That way we can take these projected savings, apply them to the Pension system and keep the 2% that we take out of the employees' pay checks right in the general fund.' People, I ask you, How is this Not Theft?.
If anything, business should be up in arms demanding a better deal, or joining the State plan so they too could pay only 5.5% of their employees' retirement. But, alas no, they will be happy to get Huge depreciation tax breaks on equipment and that whooping one sixth of one percent tax cut that will help all of us so much. When the People finally wake up to the fact that the RED AGENDA is a Corporate push to remove the people completely from their Government, it will be War. Our form of Government exists, Of the people, by the people and for the people. What they are planning looks nothing like that. It looks more like: Of their money, for their money, Buy their product. The end product is the consumption of YOU.
The tea party keeps trying to push the idea upon me that workers in Unions are communists. I have a hard time swallowing that. Under their Idea, every group that negotiates a discount on insurance or by buying something in bulk would be communist. Thus, Walmart is the Biggest communist faction in the nation without a union. This may be, for crushing other businesses till they are the only one seems to be their agenda and at all costs, even when it means losing money.
None of our current Problems stem from the people of this country not contributing their fair share. Yes there are some free riders: welfare, criminals riding along in prisons, mental incompetents that can not work or contribute. Though for the most part these free riders and their costs could be absorbed by the population. ALL of our problems come from the chronic waste of poor government. The waste of expedience and the theft of Corporations and their lobbyists. Our problems stem from the choice of wars paid for on a credit card. With no Country, NO Corporation held accountable for the debt. No, instead the Corporations collected interest on the debt and we just casually called them Bailouts. The lies are great and growing. As these people try to blow smoke into Our eyes so we no longer see the truth, I would say where there is smoke there is Fire. It is Time for the People to rush toward the Fire despite the smoke. Beat the fire out, hose it down, set counter fires to remove fuel that allows the fire to spread, dig trenches and fire lines. But for the sake of God and Country, for the Love of our children and our Lives, to save the REPUBLIC stand up now. Armed with truth and your rights to YOUR GOVERNMENT.
I thank all of you who turned out yesterday at the State House. 500+ realize that the real war has started. Spread the word, grow your numbers or lose your State, and then your Country. The Choice is yours it always has been.
Be well, do good work, Keep thinking. Sincerely, Ms. Paula Page

Stealing the DEP and The New Republic Agenda
In less then 30 days I have all but lost my sense of Humor and my ability to sit back and see objectively. The more research I do the worse this looks. Our new administration states it wants to cut government waste and spending. Yet, first mission, form a tour group and pretend to listen to the people,spending Our money as they go! One press statement and an electronic survey could have gotten The Lepage RED Tape Crew all the same Information at less cost. Every time I type the word RED, I think of big business and RED China, I can't help it. My brain is stuck on the "Red agenda," which looking at the bills for this session is not a joke.
After the too controversial appointment of Darryl Brown to head of the DEP one can take a look at the Republican idea of saving the people money in a bill to remove regular employees from the department and Appoint 13 of what could only be called the Governor's Pets. Please take a look at this: Taking the DEP or the new Department of Economic Protection
Really, this saves money and cuts government? Not a chance. It is more of the power grab that we are about to witness. After looking over the many bills before our legislature I am convinced the people's work must be More political power for the politicos. For these people who have taken a Constitutional oath of office are more than ready to get out their pocket knives and start whittling away at all of it. In the name of saving you money these misguided individuals have come up with a plan to steal your representation, Not just once but on multiple fronts and in many ways. Check out this "crafty" amendment to Your State Constitution: The taking of Our representatives
Now just in case you're not happy with 131 Reps. in a State that grew 4.2% last year, you could settle for one with even bigger cuts to your representation leaving, Maybe 101 Representatives?
I like the Constitution of Maine, it is Ours, and by design for the people of Maine. I can't help but wonder if Lance Harvell, Richard Cebra and the rest of this rat pack did not take a back door oath that said, " and to change the Constitution of Maine where we see fit." For as we look at this next bill we see the true extent of "the people unworked". Terms & Term Limits
I do not believe for one second that the people of Maine in any community have asked that Our Representatives seek 4 year terms for themselves, or that we think they should double their time in office. The truth is they want power and money, indeed they want your Government for their agenda. Further proof of that is this sleazy little bill here: A measure to unleash the Tea Party?
How blind can we be? There is no attempt in any of these bills at "the people's work." Our government is moving to make us hostage to a foreign agenda, one that says, " A government of the Republic, for the New Republican, exclusive of the people, in the interest of Business, for our sakes so help us God."
These bills and many more will be thrown at us as cost saving measures to be sure. How, one should ask, "does it save me to surrender My State, My Constitution, and My Rights to a big business agenda with no people in sight?" I have never been enrolled in a party system. Always thinking that a better candidate could be found, should be found and would be put in office by the majority when proven of worth and right. Many times there are simply no candidates to choose from, or they will not stand. Yet, still outside of party politics there is a certain center, a place where the lesser evil, the truer course for a State to take, in the interests of all the People, often appears. So when a bill like this next one comes rolling along what am I to think? Unenrolled disqualified from clean election funds if you have no primary?
Independents are frowned upon by the established order, I understand that. We are overlooked, excluded, and cast out as if a leprosy on the body politic. More often than not Independent candidates find money outside of the current system anyway. Though one would think with the Majority of Maine being unenrolled we would deserve an equal say in our State's thoughts and actions.
There is hope yet that the citizens of Maine will once again rise to the occasion, with heads held high and demand that the State Government remain "a Government of the people, by the people, and for the people." That the people's work at some point will begin in earnest. That our present Politicos will pull their respective heads out of their respective arses and get to the real work: Streamline all of the extra management in Our offices. Cut off the unnecessary tours of political puppets. Cut internal administrators and Human Resource people sitting around discussing with employees how their benefits work. Cut, Cut, Cut. Pay, Pay, Pay, get to work today. Cut all of your Benefits. I really do not care to spend $32.00 a day on your food. I bring my lunch to work as should you. It is healthier and the responsible thing to do. Also, every law, every discussion of a law, every meeting is Our money. Foolish whoopie pie laws are a waste; to your waist, heart, mind and pocket. I should think you could all go home and save us all the money, pass no laws. Leave the accounting department open to collect receivables and send out the pay ables. Good luck, God bless, Keep thinking,
Sincerely, Ms. Paula Page
